|
Our love is dead but without limit, |
|
like the surface of the moon |
|
or the land between here and the mountains. |
|
Well, it is not these hiding places |
|
that have kept us innocent |
|
but the way you taught me to just let it all go by. |
|
And so we've learned to be as faithless, |
|
stand behind bulletproof glass, |
|
exchanging our affections through a drawer. |
|
And it was always horribly convenient |
|
and happening too fast. |
|
You should count your change before you're even out the door. |
|
Yes, you should but please... |
|
|
|
Return, return to the person that you were. |
|
And I will do the same |
|
cause it is too hard to belong to someone who is gone. |
|
My compass spins. The wilderness remains. |
|
|
|
Once too often, I have retreated |
|
into the depths of my despair. |
|
I built a barricade to block you on the road. |
|
I was standing there with all of my possessions |
|
piled higher than a house, |
|
I felt closer to you than you ever would have known. |
|
So let each tiny acts of charity |
|
be common ground on which to build |
|
the monument that will commemorate our times. |
|
And though, you swear you've found another |
|
who will surely speed you on your way, |
|
don't let the forest grow over that path you came there by. |
|
But you will, so... |
|
|
|
So hurry up and run to the one that you love. |
|
And blind him with your kindness. |
|
And he'll make war, old war, on who you were before. |
|
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart. |
|
|
|
Now, I tell myself I've mended |
|
under these patches of blue sky. |
|
There are still a few holes that let in a little rain. |
|
And it's been crying on my shingles. |
|
My floorboards moan under my feet. |
|
The refrigerator is whining, so I've got reason to complain. |
|
But I am not gonna bless you with such compliments, |
|
some degrading psalm of praise, |
|
like the kind that converted you to me so long ago. |
|
Because the truth is that gossip's as good as gospel in this town. |
|
You can save face but you won't ever save your soul. |
|
Baby that's a fact. |
|
|
|
So hurry up and run to the one that you love. |
|
And tie him up in your likeness, |
|
And he'll become, become the prisoner I was. |
|
And know all that has spoiled in your heart. |
|
And know all that has spoiled in your heart. |
|
|
|
So hurry up and run to the one that you love. |
|
And blind him with your kindness. |
|
And he'll make war, old war, on who you were before. |
|
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart. |
|
Yeah, he'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart. |
|
